starring
Lucille Ball , William Gaxton

Bronze Age Blast-Off
The oldest gold objects in the world have been found in a cemetery in Bulgaria. The oldest copper mine in the world, dug with antler picks and stone hammers, has been discovered in Yugoslavia. A vast prehistoric metal industry has turned up in the Austrian Alps.
All this evidence of early European emergence from the Stone Age has suddenly reversed a long-held belief that all our technology came from the Near East. For this bustling, independent activity in metallurgy has been found to pre-date the ancient civilisations of Egypt, Sumer and Troy. Could it be that European supremacy in technology took off as long as 6,500 years ago?

A Television View
' You do rely very much on your own instincts, and lights of one colour come on when certain things are said, sometimes no lights come on at all, they don't register on your scale, sometimes lights of a quite sensational colour come on.' (DAVID HOLMES ,
BBC Political Editor)
A year ago today the country was exactly halfway through the General Election Campaign. On this day film cameras went behind the scenes of the Television News coverage of the campaign to observe how it was brought to the screen. How did the constraints, pressures and opportunities of television affect the public perception of the campaign? How were the issues selected, and by whom? Is it the politicians or the broadcasters who set the agenda? How does that agenda look a year after the event?

The Hastings Hours
Manuscript illumination reached its climax at the end of the 15th century in Flanders. But those artists of the Burgundian Court never signed their work and the exquisite little pictures themselves are so delicate that few are on public display anywhere.
In this film, Thomas Kren of the University of California traces for the first time the genesis of a masterpiece of medieval art, the Book of Hours of Lord Hastings, and throws new light on its connections with these last great - but unknown - painters of the Middle Ages.
Directed by DERRICK AMOORE and RON JOHNSTON
